So tonight on The Bachelor in Paradise thanks to Unsolved Mysteries host Chris Harrison we got to the bottom of the mystery about who 30-year-old Michelle Kujawa found a connection with.
Tulum Mexico in the Yucatan Peninsula must be a really romantic place because even the crew on The BIP falls in love and now we know his name! Ryan Putz! No joke…that is his real name and it gets better. Ryan is a boom mic operator and does sound production. And his resume on IMdB is sort of amazing and includes the film “Get Hard”.
He also worked on Hot Tub Time Machine 2 and now he was hired for Bachelor in Paradise. So this guy was movin’ up in the world of “sound utility” and boom mic operation.
In the beginning of the show on the PREMIERE before she even had 24 hours to get to know anyone the Anaheim Sales Rep revealed to Chris Harrison and the cast that she only “may” be single!
So luckily ABC did a FULL reenactment of the event tonight.
Chris Harrison explained that prior to filming, the cast members had been staying at a local hotel in Mexico and Michelle K began flirting sound guy Ryan Putz who happened to be staying next door to her.
She confided in producers that she “cares” for Ryan and that he simply brought her floss and handpicked flowers.
A crew member named Lauren reenacted the scene for us. She said she had knocked on Michelle K’s door and found her naked under a towel. Ryan hid on the balcony in a panic after Lauren knocked on the door, but his fear of losing his job prompted him to jump off the balcony – a 25 ft. drop.
Poor Ryan claims he thought the jump was only about 6 feet, but he jumped on to a hard surface breaking both legs. He was rolling around in pain proclaiming he did not want to lose his job. Yeah I think it’s too late for that Ryan!
In case you missed the epic explanation of how his legs were broken…

the picture was of you in front of a chair that says “crew Ryan Putz” in a Bachelor forum. If by chance thats a picture of you but you were not a crew member on the Bachelor in Paradise its a very odd coincidence. Clearly I had good reason to believe that that photo was Ryan Putz and was the Ryan Putz referred to in the episode. That said I removed the picture at your request.
So chill out w/ your threats Ryan. It is what it is. the picture was up for years–much longer than any statute of limitations.
SOL has not run because the article is still in publication. You google my name and on the first page of results this comes up.
Yes, I was a bartender, my shirt said crew. If you actually look at the picture you will see there is no affiliation to anything related to your article.
I don’t see any pics of him on her FB page. I see pics of her w/ Jesse Kovacs but don’t see Ryan. Maybe you can send one to me or post a link because I don’t see any Ryan on there.
Yeah, I actually know Ryan, and that’s not Ryan in the picture. All you have to do is look at her facebook for pics of him. Nice journalism there. Also, that’s not exactly how it happened. They’re just trying to make him look like an ass for ratings. He’s a very sweet guy.
ok I will look, but that photo had his name and “crew member” on it which seemed like pretty solid evidence that it was him but I will look at her fb page like you said. Thanks
